One of the earliest recorded instances of the Cuttino surname can be found in the Portate al Catasto, a tax record from the Italian city of Genoa, dating back to the late 14th century.

During the 17th century, the Cuttino surname spread beyond Italy as members of the family migrated to other parts of Europe and the Americas.
